The fun thing about this pattern is that it can be made with any multiple of 2 – any even number of stitches. So you can make it with the stitch count provided, make it smaller for a neckwarmer, or make it bigger for a shoulder wrap!

NOTES:
– If you do not want to start with FDC, you can ch 126 and dc in the 3rd ch from the hook and each remaining ch to the end.
– My color pattern was A, B, C, D, E, D, C, B, A, but feel free to invent your own!
– Be sure to note that two different types of post stitches are used – where not specified, standard post stitches are used. Tutorials for both are linked above.

Round 1: With first color, FDC 124; join with a sl st to work in the round. (124 sts)

Round 2 – 3: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), *fpdc in next st, bpdc in next st; repeat from * to end, join with sl st in first fpdc; after Round 3 break yarn. (124 sts)

Round 4: With next color, join to any st, ch 2, shallow bpdc in each st; join with sl st in first bpdc. (124 sts)

Round 26 – 27: Ch 2 (does not count as a st), *fpdc in next st, bpdc in next st; repeat from * to end, join with sl st in first fpdc; after Round 27 break yarn. (124 sts) Weave in all ends.
